Its design is characterized by an expressive, geometric, and asymmetrical composition: a conical central body, a large circular black lacquered shade with a series of small decorative perforations, and a distinctive curved yellow base finished with brass details.

The combination of shapes, colors, and materials gives it a strong sculptural presence, highly representative of mid-century Italian design. The perforated upper shade also adds an interesting decorative effect when the lamp is lit.

The piece is preserved in its original condition, exhibiting an attractive patina befitting its age. Minor surface wear, small areas of paint loss, and signs of use are visible in the photographs. The brass elements also retain their natural patina.

The lamp was tested and found to be in working order at the time of cataloging.
